Principle Engineer - SoC Design Verification

Role Overview: We are seeking a highly experienced Design Verification (DV) with 10+ years of expertise to lead verification strategy and execution for complex So Cs. The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge of ARM-based microcontrollers, low-power design verification, and experience with multiple interfaces and security IPs. This is a hands-on role requiring strong technical skills, leadership, and collaboration in a fast-paced environment. Key RESPONSIBILITIES: Define and own So C-level and IP-level verification strategy, methodology, and coverage goals. Hands-on work: Responsible for executing verification plan according to the product specification and verification requirements defined by product architects. Responsible for developing, debugging and running UVM based verification environment for RTL/netlist simulation. Define and develop test cases in an appropriate verification framework. Create stimulus and assertions, run simulation, debug test cases on the design models (RTL, power aware RTL, gate level, FPGA, Emulation platform), run regression, collect and analyze code/functional coverage Drive DV closure on diverse IPs and subsystems, ensuring maximum coverage and quality. Familiar with both So C-level and IP-level verification environments. Guide the team in developing and improving flows for maximum reuse and efficiency. Mentor team members while actively collaborating with design teams for issue resolution and sign-off. Ensure compliance with functional safety/security requirements. Required QUALIFICATIONS: Experience: 10+ years in So C/IP verification with successful tape-outs of multiple So Cs. Desirable Technical Skills: Strong expertise in ARM-based microcontrollers and So C-level verification. Proficiency in System Verilog, UVM, and constrained-random verification. Familiarity with EDA tools (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Mentor Questa). Experience with low-power verification (UPF). Gate-level simulations and power-aware simulations. Strong knowledge of assertions (SVA) and functional coverage. Verification of multiple interfaces: SPI, I²C, UART, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, e SPI. Knowledge of Flash memory and security IPs (crypto engines and subsystems) is a plus Familiarity with common Analog IPs in microcontroller design (ADC, DAC, PLLs). Soft Skills: Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Strong team player with excellent communication skills.
